re: Do any retirees “miss” work?

I think you took me wrong. Or maybe I should have worded it better. Trust me, I don’t hate my job but I’m quitting the microsecond I don’t need to work anymore. I’m just saying we need something to drag our arse out of bed every morning. That doesn’t mean it has to or should be our 9-5, just something to keep us from getting good at The Price is Right.

We can agree on that.. i was replying to the part where you said ‘we need to get up every day and do things we dont want to do’.. i think it’s the opposite.. i recently heard Jerry Seinfeld say on a podcast ‘The key to life is wasting time in ways that you like’ .. i realize that’s a Billionaire saying that, but i dont think you have to be a billionaire to put that into practice.. i know id have no problem getting up in the morning to do things i love doing, whether that’s volunteering, travel, golf or pickleball (though i dont play either of those) or whatever.. no one needs ‘things they dont want to do ‘ as part of the equation .
